The thing about learning an instrument is that you have to be ok with messing up. No one is going to be perfect right out of the gate, and instead of getting discouraged with your failings, Duckling, you should let them encourage you. Say to yourself, Well, now I know exactly what I have to work on. And then work on it, over and over until you get it right. Listen, I can tell you have some natural ability with this, but I want you to stay cautious about relying too much on that. You’ll fall into the trap of letting what you already have be “good enough,” and you know who’s going to pull ahead? Those other Ducklings who started out with nothing. Never settle, you can always be better. You have to work hard at it every day, and you know what? I think you will. (Via Buzzfeed.)

FREEBIRD! PLAY FREEBIRD!
I could not get to the comment box fast enough.
This past spring at my college I attended a Battle of the Bands on the quad. One band which consisted of three scrawny freshman and one hugely overweight senior wearing a bowler hat and tuxedo t-shirt (I have no idea where these kids came from) got on stage and played a depressing version of Freebird. After they finished, it was pretty much dead quiet and somebody in the back whistled and yelled “Play Freebird!” I died laughing and this is my ghost commenting on this blog.
I for one am looking forward to its ukelele version of the Sweet Child O’ Mine riff!
Still better than “Hey Soul Sister.”
YEAH
One day it will be a beautiful Ukulele playing swan and be better than the band Train with their terrible “Hey Soul Sister” song that plays on the hour at my radio station at work I hate them so much.
I feel like there has been this agonizingly long stretch of time where that song is fucking everywhere. What is it about that song that every stupid fucking ad agency or radio station feels the need to play it all the time? Aren’t there other bland non-offensive pop/light rock songs out there for the suburban housewives that aren’t as painfully annoying?
But how is he at jumping head-first into his money bin?
He’s good, but the music industry is a dog-eat-duck world.
However, his rise to fame could make for a great duckumentary.
He’d better learn that ukulele quickly. I think we all remember what happened to Lil’ Screwy when he didn’t learn the oboe fast enough for Uncle Donald’s liking.
Fun Fact: A duck learning the oboe is fairly redundant, because beginner oboeists naturally sound like tortured waterfowl! #themoreyouknow
What the fuck, why are Huey and Dewey dressed alike?!
Laundry day
Hey cute video of Ben Schwartz and Zooey Deschanel singing and playing ukulele: You got some competition!
No, as adorable as this duck is, Ben Schwartz is that much more adorable.
Everyday they’re out there making Duck Tales, WOOO OOOOH
Needs more background porno moaning.
Talent or no talent, I just hope he doesn’t become another douchebag who always plays Wonderwall at parties.
I like it.
I love ducklings and I love ukeleles, so this is a pretty great thing for me to be watching.
